Happy Birthday, Blog!

1)In the beginning, Ben created a Blog. 2)Now the blog was blank and boring, there were no colors or styles to be found throughout it. 3)Then Ben chose a layout, and the layout appeared. 4)Ben saw the layout was good, and though it separated his blog from the others.
5)Then Ben clicked “edit profile” and began creating his profile…

This of course is where the real time and work had to be put into my very first blog. There were fields such as, privacy, identity, a photo and sound option, general information, etc. These fields are almost exactly like those of a Facebook or a MySpace, both of which I have possessed at some point in my life. However, the fact that filling these fields out is in essence a homework assignment applies some importance to the answers I provide. Unfortunately, this introduces my only problem during the whole blog creation process: procrastination.
As an aside I would like to say that for those of you who are not a friend of procrastination, congratulations on being at least somewhat motivated to not be stressed out a few hours, or even minutes, before an assignment is due. As I have already revealed, this is not me.
As I grit my teeth and began to fill out the seemingly endless subject boxes, the information began to flow through my fingertips as if the stress had melted away and I was creating this blog purely for my own pleasure. As I turns out, the stress I had been feeling about the assignment was purely self-applied and therefore easily removed, thus ending the reign of the evil blog and beginning the reign of its more attractive cousin, the awesome blog.
